    119. Be Horny for Your Own Life with Taylor Marshall
    2026/07/11
    This week, Paige is joined by designer and artist friend, Taylor Marshall for one of their favorite kinds of conversations - the kind that starts with a viral internet moment and somehow ends with creativity, body image, AI, artistic discipline, marketing, and what it really means to build a life that turns you on. Inspired by the artists who climbed the Empire State Building, they unpack why so many brands and creators rush to copy meaningful moments instead of creating something original themselves. Taylor and Paige chat about trend culture, social media, creative identity, and why we all need to become a little more "horny for our own lives." They also dive into:
    • Why curated living always outlasts trends
    • The pressure to constantly market yourself as an artist
    • The tension between creativity and discipline
    • Body image, fashion trends, and learning to embrace your own style
    • Using AI as a tool without sacrificing originality
    • Building careers that feel deeply aligned instead of simply successful
    If you've ever felt burnt out by social media, overwhelmed by marketing, or wondered how to stay true to yourself in a world that rewards copying everyone else, this conversation is for you.

  • 118. The Art Career No One Talks About (Slow, Scrappy & So Worth It) with Daphne Vantine

    118. The Art Career No One Talks About (Slow, Scrappy & So Worth It) with Daphne Vantine
    2026/06/26
    Daphne Vantine (@daphneraecreative) returns to the pod three years after leaving corporate tech and this time, we’re getting real about what it actually takes to build an art career. We talk about slow growth, identity shifts, creative burnout, money, community, and why you’re probably closer than you think.

    Inside this episode, we get into:
    • What it actually looks like to leave corporate and become a full-time artist
    • The identity shift from “employee” to “creator” (and why it’s disorienting as hell)
    • Why your art practice can’t be treated like a to-do list
    • The moment Daphne realized she was already “successful” even if it didn’t look how she expected
    • Letting go of timelines, comparison, and the illusion of overnight success
    • The power of consistency (even when it’s boring, slow, and unsexy)
    • How community, collaboration, and saying yes to unexpected opportunities changes everything
    • Why having multiple income streams (yes, even dog walking) can actually free your creativity
    • The tension between creating for joy vs. creating for moneyand how to separate the two
    • What happens when you finally trust your own pace
    We also talk about motherhood, loneliness, friendship, and the importance of getting out of your bubble because creativity doesn’t happen in isolation.

    This conversation is honest, grounding, and a reminder that:
    👉 You’re not behind.
    👉 You’re not doing it wrong.
    👉 You’re just in the middle of it. And the middle? That’s where everything meaningful is built.

  • 114. I Took a Month Off to Paint & Hated It (What It Taught Me About Being an Artist)

    114. I Took a Month Off to Paint & Hated It (What It Taught Me About Being an Artist)
    2026/04/24
    After stepping away for nearly two months to focus solely on painting, I thought I’d finally become the version of the artist I had always imagined…someone who spends all day in the studio, creating nonstop. But instead? I felt lonely. Frustrated. Disconnected. And honestly…kind of lost. In this solo episode, I’m sharing the real experience of what happened when I stripped everything away - my workshops, the podcast, community and what that taught me about who I actually am as an artist (and as a human). This conversation is about:
    • Letting go of the “ideal artist” identity
    • Why isolation didn’t work for me creatively
    • The difference between what drains you vs. what energizes you
    • Releasing pressure to constantly create
    • Leaning into connection, community, and conversation
    • Navigating comparison as an artist
    • A personal update on my relationship with my dad and what I’m working through
    • Big life shifts (including Sam stepping away from his career 👏)
    • And a little teaser… a rebrand is coming 👀
    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing creativity “wrong,” or like the version of success you imagined doesn’t actually feel good… this one’s for you. You’re not broken. You might just need a different way.

    ✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS:
    • You don’t have to fit the “studio artist” mold to be a real artist
    • Creativity doesn’t thrive under constant pressure
    • Energy comes from connection, not just output
    • You can love parts of your work and still outsource the rest
    • Understanding your patterns is more valuable than forcing productivity
    • Healing relationships doesn’t always mean fixing them - it can mean understanding them

  • 113. The Art of Slowing Down In A Noisy World with Paige

    113. The Art of Slowing Down In A Noisy World with Paige
    2026/02/08
    In this stream-of-consciousness solo episode, Paige records from the car on her way to Boston and invites listeners into an honest reflection on creativity, overwhelm, and the courage it takes to slow down. She shares stories of reconnecting with longtime artist friends, supporting a fellow creative taking a leap into entrepreneurship, and navigating the fear that often shows up right before meaningful growth. Paige reflects on feeling spread thin, the pressure to follow through on big opportunities, and the idea of intentionally unplugging from social media, expectations, and constant productivity in order to return to what truly matters. She also dives into lessons from a recent intimate wedding-industry gathering, unpacking conversations around validation, comparison, and the deep desire many creatives share to simply rest, be bored, and reconnect offline. The episode comes full circle with Paige’s love for creating safe, nourishing spaces through workshops, community, and her new snail-mail art project where people can work with their hands, feel seen, and take a much-needed pause from the noise of the world. A gentle reminder that creativity, connection, and kindness toward ourselves are not luxuries, they’re essential.
